Question

6．Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s．The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong．People watched him，and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach．Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before!Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets．Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable．
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong，but this is not true．Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable．
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake．In the 1890s，a group of people studied what was inside vegetables．This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did．The group wrote the number wrong，and everyone accepted it．
Today，we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is．However，spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid．
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong．Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along．

Answer 1

分析 從二十世紀(jì)三十年代動(dòng)畫(huà)片《大力水手》的播映以來(lái)，菠菜成了人們餐桌上必不可少的一道菜，人們都認(rèn)為菠菜所含的鐵會(huì)賦予人力量．事實(shí)上，菠菜里含的鐵并不比別的蔬菜多，只是菠菜中的葉酸才能夠使人身體強(qiáng)壯，在本文中作者揭示了這一事實(shí)．

解答 51．B．主旨大意題．文章開(kāi)頭提出《大力水手》的播映使得人們一致認(rèn)為菠菜會(huì)給人神奇的力量，然后下文指出this is not true．，接下來(lái)作者講述了有關(guān)菠菜的事實(shí)，由此可知文章中心內(nèi)容是糾正人們對(duì)于菠菜錯(cuò)誤的認(rèn)識(shí)，故答案選B．
52．A 推理判斷題．動(dòng)畫(huà)片中的大力水手吃了菠菜后會(huì)力大無(wú)窮，看過(guò)這個(gè)動(dòng)畫(huà)片的人們也把菠菜當(dāng)成了他們餐桌上一道必不可少的菜，由此推斷人們認(rèn)為菠菜真的會(huì)讓他們身體強(qiáng)壯，所以選A．
53．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did．The group wrote the number wrong，and everyone accepted it．可知研究人員提出了菠菜比其他綠色蔬菜含鐵更多的觀點(diǎn)，答案選D．
54．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章末段It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong．Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along．可知葉酸會(huì)給人提供能量，或許大力水手的力量就是由此而來(lái)的，故答案選C．
55．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后第二段"However，spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid"可知葉酸其實(shí)是食物中的一些成分；故選A．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
